You're such a clown, Mr. BIG DEAL AROUND HERE. Go make more shlt up; we're all riveted by your delusions and fantasies. But, you should stop getting so pissy when you get called out on your bullshit. That's a very beta reaction and doesn't jive with what you want us to believe about you.

Having grown up on and around farms, I know way more than you ever will about the subject. But I guess someone that occasionally drinks milk and listened to his sociopathic dad spin yarns from the old country qualifies as an expert in your MAGA addled mind.

It has been 35 years since I worked in Minnesota so I do not keep up on the laws, but as a law clerk one of the first cases i addressed was one of one farmer shooting two dogs from a neighboring farm who constantly got out and chased his dairy cows.  At the time, in Minnesota it was legal to shoot dogs "worrying" livestock.  "Worrying" they called it.  I imagine it still is.  I know that even in the 60's and 70's our investment in a good producing dairy cow could be upwards of $10,000.  You don't let some mutt chase the milk right out of her.  Animals viewed through a Disney lense by City folks get far less deferrence on farms and ranches.  The metric of concern and respect is judged fianancially and that is about it.

Yessir. The cats better be catching rodents and the dogs better be good at herding, intimidation, or pest murder. Animals aren't freeloading on a farm. Damn glad I was exposed to that at a young age so I don't get all squeamish when I see poop/piss/blood/entrails. I know what it's like to pull a breached calf in subzero weather, can appreciate eating animals/ parts of animals that most won't touch (rabbit, cow tongue-YUM! Pig brain, bull nuts- notsomuch) and understand that Bessy, errr- ear tag 841, ain't a pet and will be coming to a poor, but hopefully profitable (or at least tasty), end.

I remember at four I was in the milking barn with Granda.  A cat started rubbing against the leg of the cow being milked.  The cow stepped on the cat breaking its back up not killing the cat.  Grandpa looked at me and said grab that shovel and take care of the cat.  I gently scooped the cat onto the shovel to carry it to wherever we were going to take care of it.  My Graandpa said no, grabbed the shovel tossing the cat to the floor and used the shovel to "take care of it" by decapitating the cat, scooping it back up, handing it to me, and telling me to toss it out back.  I cried.  I learned.

Noem claiming her purse was professionally stolen. Says theif dragged it away from her with his foot, threw his coat over it and walked out. Sounds made up to me.

Yeah, sure, totally made up.  But Trump peeing on Russian hookers and being a double-agent totally true.

What does she mean by "professionally done", are there amateur purse snatchers.  How does one become a professional, does it require graduate level work and a thesis?

Maybe it is akin to "military grade".

Sheltered liberals think there aren’t coordinated purse snatch gangs. What can you do?

Yep. Crime is never organized or made up of skilled criminals. They have to actually come from an accredited program for that designation says @Mike Honcho and @Herbivore.

Generally after a stint in those crime colleges which are our prisons.
